“During recent storms, satellites recorded ocean waves averaging nearly 20 metres high – the largest ever measured from space. Moreover, satellite data now reveal that ocean swells act as storm ‘messengers’ - even though a storm may never make landfall, its swell can travel vast distances and bring destructive energy to distant coastlines...
This record merges data from satellites such as #SARAL, #Jason3, #Copernicus #Sentinel 3A and 3B, Copernicus #Sentinel6 Michael Freilich, #CryoSat and #CFOSAT…”

Summer Surf, George Wesley Bellows

I dig this scene because the two ladies are dressed well, as people were in those days, and although they're high up on the rock I can imagine the spray and the wet rock being slippery and the dignified awe, that whole experience. Maybe I'll go to the beach soon and spend some time near some pounding surf so that I can sense my place in the universe. ❤️
